Once upon a time, in the small town of Greenville, South Carolina, two young hearts, Rebekah and Andy, began a journey that would shape the rest of their lives. Their story is one of friendship, separation, and a love that stood the test of time.

It all started when they were just 14 years old, navigating the awkward years of adolescence. Rebekah and Andy met, forming a bond that would prove to be unbreakable. A brief romance blossomed between them when they were 15, but as life unfolded, they went their separate ways, choosing different paths.

Despite the distance, the connection between Rebekah and Andy never faded. Through the ups and downs of life, they remained friends, always finding a way back into each other's lives. Fate brought them together once a year during their college days, offering glimpses of what could be.

It wasn't until their senior year of college, at the age of 21, that they took a chance on love again. As they navigated the challenges of their final academic year, something beautiful happened – they fell deeply in love, discovering a connection that was stronger than ever before.

As graduation approached, reality set in, and the duo faced the daunting prospect of a long-distance relationship. Andy ventured to Athens, Georgia, while Rebekah remained in Greenville, South Carolina. The miles between them couldn't diminish the love that had flourished during their senior year.

For two years, they endured the trials and tribulations of a long-distance relationship, each moment apart only strengthening their bond. The challenges they faced were met with unwavering commitment and an unbreakable spirit.

Finally, the day came when they decided to close the distance. Rebekah and Andy embarked on a new chapter of their lives in Augusta, Georgia. It didn't take long for Andy to realize that this was the perfect moment to take their journey to the next level. One month into their shared life, with the bustling Atlanta airport as the backdrop, Andy dropped to one knee and asked Rebekah to be his forever.

Surrounded by the excitement of her return from a trip to Japan, Andy's proposal was the culmination of a story that began a decade earlier. Rebekah said yes, sealing a love story that had spanned years, cities, and countless cherished moments.

And so, the two childhood friends who became college sweethearts were destined to become life partners. As they prepare to say "I do," Rebekah and Andy reflect on a journey filled with love, laughter, and the unwavering belief that some connections are simply meant to last a lifetime.
